Psychic Seductions Author Spotlight Tour Day 7

Lisa Knight

When it comes to love, sex,
and seduction, these psychics break all the rules. Seven sexy stories and seven
gifts of insight that will make you a believer.

I’m so excited to be part of the anthology
experience. I’d never written anything along the supernatural lines before so
when the opportunity came up, I figured why not?

What Drew Me In...

Right from the beginning I became enthralled in the
mystical nature of the whole thing. My character, Jill, has had her gift since
childhood, but it’s only now as an adult that she’s learning how to live with
it. I love how she grows and develops over the course of the story.

As for Darcy…well, he’s a broody thing.

Tall? – check. Dark? – check. Handsome? – check.
Dynamite in the sack? Triple check! He’s a good match for Jill. She just has to
realize it.

Kindergarten teacher Jill O’Halloran does her best to
disregard the visions she sees in pools of still water, having learned from a
young age that it wasn’t something that happened to normal people. But when
images of Darcy Albright in the throes of passion keep appearing, they prove
too difficult to ignore. Jill can’t understand why she’s so drawn to Darcy.
Sure he’s gorgeous, but she doesn’t do relationships.

When Darcy’s ex-wife drops a bombshell, Jill
discovers that he’s all too familiar with futuristic visions. But is the
prospect of learning more about the gift she’s denied for so long worth the
risk of falling for him?

And here’s a little sample…

Stifling a yawn, Jill reached for the glass on her
desk, conscious of keeping up her fluids in this hot weather. Her heart skipped
a beat when Darcy’s face reflected back from the water. He looked calm and
relaxed, with a half-smile on his handsome mouth. In fact, it looked a little
like he was… Oh dear God! She sat up stiffly in her seat, cheeks flaming with
heat as her gaze darted over the room, desperately hoping nobody saw what she’d
just witnessed. But of course no one had. She was the only person strange
enough to see visions in water.

It had begun when she was about five or six years
old. Pictures had started to appear in the bath, or in puddles left after rain.
She hadn’t known what it was at first, but it had never occurred to her to be
frightened. That didn’t come until later, when she told the foster parents who
were caring for her at the time.

Jill had quickly learned that other people didn’t
think it was normal to see visions in pools of water. They thought it made her
weird and was something that had to be beaten out of her...regularly. As she
grew older and moved from foster home to foster home, she’d learned to keep her
mouth firmly shut. Even once she’d found a safe place to live, with people who
seemed to care about her, she never told another soul about her ability.

There wasn’t all that much to tell anyway. It came in
waves. She’d see glimpses of things for a few weeks or months, and then nothing
for long stretches of time. It had been over a year since her last vision.
Right around the time she’d got the job at Northwoods Elementary.

The thing was that every image she’d ever seen had
ended up a reality, resulting in some kind of change in her life. The social
worker who came to the door when she was eight to take her to a new home, her
best friend Karen who she met on the first day of high school, the mailman who
delivered her offer of a college scholarship, various school principals
offering her teaching jobs. And today, Darcy Albright, on the verge of an
orgasm.

At least she thought that’s what it was. Her visions
were always brief and not entirely clear. Mostly they were just people’s faces,
although sometimes she too appeared in the image. But what the hell did she
know about men’s orgasms? Maybe he’d been about to sneeze.

I hope you fall in love with Jill and Darcy, and next
time you have a glass of water, sneak a peak before you take a drink. You just
never know what you might see!

A bit about Lisa Knight.

I love writing all kinds of stories but romance is
definitely my favorite. Curling up with my laptop on a cold winter’s day is my
idea of writing heaven and if there’s coffee and chocolate close by that’s even
better.

I’m always on the lookout for story and character
ideas and am inspired by everyday things like people doing their grocery
shopping, having morning tea at the local café, or the beautiful welcome back
hugs and kisses at the arrivals gate at the airport. Makes me cry just thinking
about it!

I live in Canberra, Australia with my husband and
whenever I can, snatch time to write between being a mum to our three boys and
my job as a social worker.
